A quick definition of vejour:

Term: vejour

Definition: A vejour is a person who is sent by the court to examine a place or a person to help make a decision. They may be sent to see if someone who says they are too sick to come to court is really sick or just pretending. The word comes from old French and Latin words that mean "viewers".

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A vejour is a person who is sent by the court to examine a place or a person in question to help in the decision-making process. They were also sent to check if someone who excused themselves from court due to illness was actually sick or just pretending.

  • When there was a dispute over the ownership of a piece of land, the court sent a vejour to examine the land and gather information to help make a decision.
  • If someone was summoned to court but claimed to be too sick to attend, a vejour would be sent to check if they were really sick or just pretending to avoid going to court.

These examples show how a vejour was an important part of the legal system in the past, helping to ensure that decisions were made based on accurate information and that people did not try to avoid their legal responsibilities by pretending to be sick.
